Paws For a Cause

Last weekend I spent my Saturday at The Foundry Coffee Pub in Savannah for One Love Animal Rescue's Paws for a Cause event. The event involved an artisan fair and some performances in order to raise money for the rescue and have some fun while doing so.

The event was everything from cupcakes to belly dancers.  It was so great to see so much local talent coming out to support our cause.

I especially had fun photographing the dance portion of the evening.  I was a dance minor in college, so I spent a lot of my time watching performances (and of course dancing).  It was so much fun to be able to combine that love with one for photography and to use my dance knowledge to create these pictures.  I see more dance photography in my future!

Anyway, the event was a great success and I'm happy I was able to go out and shoot some pictures.

If you are interested in supporting this cause, fostering, or adopting a pet, please contact One Love Animal Rescue today.

Yesterday I went down to Savannah Chatham Animal Control with my good friend Sam to do some volunteer work under the rescue group One Love Animal Rescue. There are some great pets there that are in need of a home and I spent the afternoon playing with them, getting to know them, and taking some pictures.  These are some of the fur babies that are available right now: These are all such sweet animals just looking for a place to call home.  Some are trained, most are complete lovers, and they are all waiting for a second chance from someone like you.

If you are in the area and any of these animals are of interest to you, please contact One Love Animal Rescue right away.

I've made the commitment to visit Animal Control every Friday, so I will be making a few changes to my blog schedule.

Friday Photo Dumps will be moved to Monday and sometime during the weekend (most likely on Saturdays) I'll be posting a new regular segment like this one: "Weekly Adoptables."

I'm very much looking forward to be able to give back and help these animals with my photography.

If you are interested in helping as well, Animal Control and One Love are always looking for volunteers and donations.  These animals need blankets, treats, and toys, as well as people to come walk them and play with them. If that sounds like something you could do, please get in touch with the folks at Animal Control to find out when the next volunteer orientation is.

And don't forget to like One Love and Mikaela Joy Photography on Facebook to stay updated on all the adoptable pets.  Who knows, maybe you'll find your next furry love!
